Chapter 9: Q23P (page 248)

Until his seventies, Henri LaMothe (Figure 9-48.) excited audiences by belly-flopping from a height of 12 minto 30 cmof water. Assuming that he stops just as he reaches the bottom of the water and estimating his mass, find the magnitude of the impulse on him from the water.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the impulse from the water, J=1.1脳103kg.m/s

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

The estimated mass of Henri,m=70kg

The height above the water,h=12m

The depth of water, d=30cm1m100cm=0.30m

02

Concept and Formula used for the given question

We can use the equation of impulse relating to the change in momentum to calculate the impulse of water. The speed of Henri at the surface of the water can be calculated using the kinematic equation which is given as.

J=鈭�PP=mv2-v1vf2=vi2+2ay

03

Calculation for the magnitude of the impulse on him from the water

The kinematic equation

vf2=vi2+2ay

Using this equation to calculate the velocity of Henri when he touches the surface of the water, we get

vf=0m/s2+2脳9.8m/s2脳12=15.34m/s

Now, using the impulse-momentum theorem, the impulse by the water is,

J=鈭�P=m脳v2-v1=70kg脳0m/s-15.34m/s=-1.1脳103kg.m/s

So, the magnitude of impulse is,

J=1.1脳103kg.m/s

A rocket is moving away from the solar system at a speed of 6.0脳103m/s. It fires its engine, which ejects exhaust with a speed of3.0脳103m/srelative to the rocket. The mass of the rocket at this time is4.0脳104kg , and its acceleration is2.0m/s2. (a) What is the thrust of the engine? (b) At what rate, in kilograms per second, is exhaust ejected during the firing?

A small ball of mass m is aligned above a larger ball of mass M=0.63 kg (with a slight separation, as with the baseball and basketball of Fig. 9-68a), and the two are dropped simultaneously from a height of h=1.8 m. (Assume the radius of each ball is negligible relative to h.) (a) If the larger ball rebounds elastically from the floor and then the small ball rebounds elastically from the larger ball, what value ofm results in the larger ball stopping when it collides with the small ball? (b) What height does the small ball then reach (Fig.9-68b)?

A shell is shot with an initial velocityv鈫�0of 20鈥�m/s, at an angle of 胃0=60掳with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (Fig.9-42). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explosion is zero, falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming that the terrain is level and that air drag is negligible?

The free-body diagrams in Fig. 9-27 give, from overhead views, the horizontal forces acting on three boxes of chocolates as the boxes move over a frictionless confectioner鈥檚 counter. For each box, is its linear momentum conserved along the x-axis and the y-axis?

Block 1 of mass m1 slides along a frictionless floor and into a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2=3m1. Prior to the collision, the center of mass of the two block system had a speed of 3.00 m/s Afterward, what are the speeds of (a) the center of mass and (b) block 2?
